LOCAL COUNCIL OF
KONGENS ENGHAVE, CITY OF COPENHAGEN, DENMARK
|
|
Kongens
Enghave (literally King’s Meadow-Garden) is located
in the south-western part of Copenhagen with a population
of 14 000 inhabitants. Mainly built during the inter-war
period for the working-class community, the area has turned
to a decaying neighbourhood in need of upgrading.
Since
1997 the Local Council has been carrying an integrated urban
regeneration programme based on citizen involvement under
the Danish Urban Regeneration Experiment. In the IUPM project,
the area participates as Lead partner and a valuable pilot
project serving as a feedback case to both test findings
and provide experience to the project.

THE CITY OF ROSTOCK,
GERMANY
|
| Located in North-eastern Germany,
Rostock is a polycentric city containing neighborhoods variously
affected by the structural changes following the 1989 reunification
of Germany. Drawing on the experience learned from the past
renewal programme of Kroepeliner Tor Vorstadt, an area located
just beyond the city walls, the city is now starting a new
urban regeneration programme in the historic city core: the
Oestliche Altstadt Mitte (OAM). This is project serving as
a pilot project for IUPM as well. In preparing the project
the Rostock Urban Renewal Company (RGS) has conducted an interdisciplinary
study concerning inner-city development practices, with attention
given to issues ranging from urban marketing through practical
suggestions in November 1999. The project will be based on
direct citizen participation, and as the first step in this,
an ethnographic study involving the residents of the OAM will
be undertaken involving public and private actors and institutions
with primary investment in this area. |

WISMAR UNIVERSITY
, GERMANY
|

The Department
of Architecture at the Technical College of Wismar University
joined the project in September 1999 and carries out necessary
research work in connection with the pilot project in Rostock.
Students of
the university specialising in the "Urban and Structural
Renovation" subject conduct studies concerning the
sociological aspects of urban renewal. Using sociological
methodologies (surveys, questionnaires, etc.) to determine
how residents and their interests can be made a part of
ongoing urban renewal projects, they will draw conclusions
useful in particularly useful for the Oestliche Altstadt
Mitte area project

THE CITY OF VILNIUS,
LITHUANIA
|
| In 1997, the Municipality completed
Vilnius Old Town Revitalisation strategy, co-financed by the
World Bank and supported by UNESCO. In 1998 and 1999, the
City is heavily investing in upgrading the public areas and
giving support to restoration of buildings. Uzupis is an area
partly falling in the designated listed area of Vilnius Old
Town - a World Heritage site. It lies across the crook of
the Vilnia river (the smaller of two confluent in Vilnius)
from the previously fortified nucleus of the Old Town, climbing
north-eastwards from the lower river valley terrace up the
hills surrounding the confluence of Vilnia and Neris. In its
urban function, Uzupis area suffers most from division from
the nucleus of the Old Town. The area represents a multitude
and variety of problems - from lack of utilities and deterioration
to social decay. Yet it opens possibilities well responding
to the vision of retaining the essential housing area with
a mix of other functions, revitalised by public and private
partnership into a balanced sustainable development area.
The Paupys area is awaiting conversion of industries according
to the General plan of Vilnius - the first area to undergo
this process in Vilnius, and perhaps the whole of Lithuania.
While presenting a planning challenge, these areas also hold
the potential to drive their revitalisation by create new
ideas and methods of their implementation. The swing in the
population type of the area hopefully gives a chance to the
birth of the vital local fraternity capable not just of odd
performance of arts but also able to consolidate into a fundamental
community to drive and sustain the revitalisation of the area.
In the IUPM project, Vilnius participates with a pilot project
in Uzupis serving as a feedback case to both test findings
and provide experience to the project. |
